The Huntington Theatre Company's production of Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation officially opens Oct. 20 following previews that began Oct. 15 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA – Wimberly Theatre.

The cast features Betsy Aidem as Marty, the acting class instructor; Nadia Bowers as Theresa, a former New York actress and acting class participant; Michael Hammond as James, Marty’s husband; Jeremiah Kissel as Schultz, an acting class participant; and Marie Polizzano as Lauren, a high school student and acting class participant.

In Circle Mirror Transformation, Huntington notes state, "four students in Marty's creative drama class experiment with harmless theatre games. Set in the Shirley, Vermont community center, hearts are quietly torn apart and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won in this gentle and beautifully crafted new comedy that mixes antic sadness and hilarious detail."
